Former El Paso County Judge Anthony Cobos is scheduled to be arraigned today.
A bond hearing Cobos is set for 2 p.m.

Cobos has been in the county lockup since Friday, when he was arrested at dawn on charges of mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and deprivation of honest services.

When Cobos appeared in court Friday afternoon, he was denied bail because he refused to answer questions from pre-trial services without his lawyer. By the time he answered questions, U.S. Magistrate Judge Norbert Garney said it was too late to be released Friday.

Cobos' attorney, David Botsford of Austin, could not be reached on Monday for comment.

Cobos, 44, and Lorenzo Aguilar, 61, were indicted in an alleged scheme to bribe Cobos in exchange for work to refinance $40 million in county debt and to steer the county's financial management contract to Coastal Securities Inc.
